Short cut to go to a folder by id?

Rhythmyx Technical Discussion

Is there a URL for me to submit a folder id and refresh CX to go to the folder?

E.g. ?sys_folderid=12345

thanks,
Jason

Hi Jason

I thought you could do this with the sys_defaultHomepageURL eg when users login they are automatically taken to their section of the website.

No one has replied so not too sure it if works.

You could do something similar (a bit of a work around) if you save a search in the Content Explorer (search for “content id” 12345 - or whatever the folder id is).

You then need to double click the folder to see content and subfolders.

Not sure if that would work as a shortcut for you or not.

Jason,

I don’t think there’s a shortcut by folder id. There is a way to get the content explorer to display a folder by path:

http://<host>:<port>/Rhythmyx/sys_cx/cxpage.html?sys_cxinternalpath=//Sites/EnterpriseInvestments

This, of course, isn’t officially documented, so it may go away in some future release.

There is a menu action called “Open in Navigator”. I am guessing that is not URL based…

I used a SQL to find all folders with draft items in it. I would like to quickly go to each folder by its ID.

I found this URL has the equivalent effect of search folder by contentid:

http://host:9992/Rhythmyx/sys_cx/mainpage.html?sys_contentid=[folder_id]

I have also tried to make this into a view (return these draft folders), but I couldn’t get it working…

Hi

Just to add to this, the link that dave supplied works but the content explorer header bar is not displayed.

To display the entire CX with the site path selected then use the following link:

http://rhythmyx:9992/Rhythmyx/sys_cx/mainpage.html?sys_cxinternalpath=<your site path>

We’d really like to use this to give out URLs to jump direct to views but, for example, subsituting //Views/My Content/Recent for <your site path> does not work. Are there any alternatives?

Thanks,

Andrew.
